7-8 medals and 4 golds is what I’m hoping for. 

I think that's reasonable. We've got a stacked team, but short track is unpredictable at the best of times, and I get the sense Italy and Korea aren't showing all their cards and will come out firing

Yeah and Italy will do eveything in their power with their home games

Another gold for Dandjinou in the 1500m! Roussel also takes silver for his first individual medal of the season.

Courtney Sarault wins the women’s 1000m at the Dordrecht WC!

Silver for William Dandjinou in the men’s 500m

And it was gold for Dubois before being penalized.

Mens relay drops in the semi

So I have no confidence in the W or M relays going into Italy. They're like the American men in the SOG. All the talent in the world, should easily win every race, but get into their own ways. Oh well, hopefully they can still pick up some individual medals in February, and maybe a mixed relay medal, too.

For the women at least, I think the last couple Olympic relay bombouts are karma... they went 7 straight without a DQ or a fall, so 2018 and 2022 were the comeuppance
